Check VLF ONE user password in Windows environment

We made a copy of UF_OLOGON to validate the VLF user in VLF ONE.

The user id is checked, but the password not. This is always valid.
What do we have to do to check the password of the VLF user??

I run in a Windows environment.

You can see in the code of UF_OLOGON that it can check user profiles and passwords against IBM i operating system profiles - you have to uncomment some code samples and recompile. For windows there is no equivalent code as the VLF itself no longer allows passwords to be saved or stored, so you will need to create or hook into your your own (existing?) mechanism for password validation, or possibly validate against the Windows operating system.
